I have set up a Pflow system with instanced geometry that is colorized using vertex color.
It renders fine in scanline, but unfortunately not in Vray?
I have tried both standard and vray materials with the vertex color map in diffuse, but still only get black particles..

Hm, can you post I scene for this? I remember this was working at some point. Also which version of V-Ray is this?
Best regards,
Vlado
The scene can be downloaded here http://rapidshare.com/files/354241937/VERTEX\_COLOR\_PROB.rar
Max 2010 x64 and Vray 1.5sp4a.. Scene uses a Krakatoa PRT loader and PFlow…
Hm, unfortunately I don’t have either of these…
Best regards,
Vlado
Hi Vlado,
The pflow stuff is basic, and is included in 3dsmax.. You actually only need the krakatoa demo - download it here:

You will need to repath the PRT loader to point at the test_2_0002.prt thats included in the zip.
Thanks,
Martin
Ah, good! Downloading now…

This is already fixed for the next update (many thanks to Oleg!); if you need the update urgently, please email me to vlado@chaosgroup.com
Best regards,
Vlado
if the next update takes longer than 2 months it would be very nice to have--
working on my bachelor thesis the next months and i am working with lots of colored particles
would be a shame to rely on scanline!
yes to be honest, i would need to use it right now
using scanline sucks!!!
and you wi ll appreciate the renderes i will show you
promise!
Hehe… Yes, I agree with Phizikl - think you will appreciate the renders a lot!
Vlado,
I have sent you 2 mails as you say, regarding the version that renders vertex color correctly but I haven’t got any replies.
I have tried to send you PM but your inbox is full.
I need this version that work.
Thanks and Best Wishes
support@chaosgroup will send it to you
I wrote first mail one week ago but noone contacted me.
Check your email, you should have a reply now.
Best regards,
Vlado
Thank you - I got the file
